Q: Web programming totally in Java or based on Symfony Recently I've started working in a computer engineering group, our goal is to make a new social networking for students.
Few days ago a telecommunication engineer joined us and he has convinced our boss (who doesn't have any knowledge of computing) to make the whole project in Java, when we had already discussed and decided to use an architecture based on Symfony.
We would like to hear all the possible opinions to convince the boss that his decision is wrong (or for us to realize that we were wrong).
(Our project is not a small one, we are thinking in using a good server, having a big database. This is why this decision is very important to us).
Thanks beforehand and sorry for my bad english.

A: I don't think that the fact to do a project in full Java is a bad decision.
The problem here is that you choose Symfony as a team, because you know you are more comfortable with PHP, you are event probably excited about it. And some guy, out of nowhere, just want to do something else, egoistically.
I invite you to read this little story:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicken_and_the_Pig
And instead of focusing your argument on proving Symfony is nice, try to push organisation arguments. Saying that a team that can make their own decisions is better, etc... (Talking about Agile maybe)?
My point is: The problem is not the technology. Therefore, I don't think you can win with technological argument. If this guy speak louder, the boss will listen.

A: You should read Symfony explained to my Boss.
Additionally you should familiarize with explanation for different team members What is Symfony section ELEVATOR PITCHES.

Q: Getting population by country using Google Earth Engine I was trying to get the population by country by using GEE. I tried the following code:
// world population 2015
var pop = ee.Image("JRC/GHSL/P2016/POP_GPW_GLOBE_V1/2015");
print(pop);
Map.addLayer(pop,{},'Population');

//world boundaries
var bound = ee.FeatureCollection("USDOS/LSIB_SIMPLE/2017");
print(bound);
Map.addLayer(bound,{},'boundaries');

// Getting Pop-2015 By country
var popcountry = pop.reduceRegions({
  collection:bound,
  reducer: ee.Reducer.sum(),
  scale: 250,
  });
print(popcountry);
Map.addLayer(popcountry,{},'PopC');

The issues that I see are the followings:

*

*I only get a global population about 1 billions instead of about 7 bn.;

*Many countries are zeros;

*I tried to use different boundaries (specifically GADM), but I can't get any results as it appears something like an internal error has ocurred.

A: I 'think' you should specifically set a crs in the reduceRegions function. As the calculation will run out of time (reprojection in different projection takes a lot of time), you should export the result to get a proper result.
// Getting Pop-2015 By country
var popcountry = pop.reduceRegions({
  collection:bound,
  reducer: ee.Reducer.sum(),
  scale: 250,
  crs: 'EPSG:4326', // world wide crs which seems to work for me
  });

Export.table.toAsset(popcountry.limit(10), 'worldPopTest', 'worldPopTest')

Note that I tried first setting the original crs (and crsTransform) as projection, but that did not work (I think due to this: link forum, link projections). Therefore I choose the crs EPSG:4326 and results seems to match the real populations.

SHANGHAI • It was a belated birthday present but a welcome one nonetheless for Jamaica's Alia Atkinson after she finally won the 50m breaststroke gold at the short course World Swimming Championships yesterday.
Her 30th birthday was on Tuesday, but she had to wait a day to mark the occasion in imperious style in Hangzhou, China.
The world-record holder in a 25m pool stormed to victory in 29.05sec for her first 50m gold after three world silvers.
"I'm really happy to finally get the gold in the 50m," said Atkinson, who fell short of her world-leading time of 28.56 set in October during the World Cup tour.
"There's a lot of stereotypes about age, and I just turned 30, so it's really cool to see the 30-year-olds still able to do it."
Like Atkinson, the United States started the evening session of day two in similarly dominating fashion, setting a new short-course world record in the women's 4x50m medley relay.
Their scorching time of 1:42.38 smashed the previous best time of 1:43.27, also held by them, two years ago.
Olympic champion Ryan Murphy gave the Americans more reason to cheer with victory in the men's 100m backstroke, pipping China's Xu Jiayu by 0.03sec with his 49.23 timing and putting the US into the lead in the medals table with four golds.
Four became five for the Americans when Blake Pieroni powered to victory in the men's 200m freestyle in 1:41.49.
Katinka Hosszu, a triple gold medallist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, grabbed her second gold at the meet as the Hungarian triumphed in the 200m butterfly in 2:01.60.
However, she suffered an upset in the 100m backstroke when she finished 0.07sec behind Olivia Smoliga (56.19), underlining the Americans' superiority.
The US made it a seventh gold overall after coming in first in the mixed 4x50m freestyle in a world record of 1:27.89.


Ron Sexsmith in Concert A Toronto-based singer-songwriter with an international following, Ron Sexsmith has seen his songs covered by everyone from Rod Stewart to Nick Lowe. Though far from a household name, Sexsmith has won over countless famous musicians, including Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Elvis Costello.
"Least That I Can Do"
A Toronto-based singer-songwriter with an international following, Ron Sexsmith has seen his songs covered by everyone from Mary Black to Rod Stewart to Nick Lowe. Though far from a household name, Sexsmith has won over a laundry list of massively famous musicians, including Paul McCartney, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle (who produced his 2001 album Blue Boy), Sheryl Crow, Bono, John Prine, Radiohead, and Coldplay's Chris Martin (who lends vocals to the Sexsmith song "Gold In Them Hills"). Sexsmith performed a concert from WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia on Jan. 12.
Armed with a passion to keep writing better songs, Sexsmith just released a new album titled Time Being. The disc's producer, Mitchell Froom, has worked with Elvis Costello, Crowded House, Suzanne Vega, Paul McCartney and more, while playing a pivotal role in Sexsmith's career, producing three of his early albums.


I am a motorcyclist and for protecting the bike a good product that comes up is something called acf50, its a none water based lubricant that is specifically designed to prevent rust and corrosion.
Any one have any experience using this for sword care at all? Any thoughts?
I haven't used this product, but it should work.
People often get hung up on what oils, etc to use to protect a sword against corrosion. But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter - what matters is that it is coated with a fine layer of SOMETHING with anti-corrosive properties at all times.
What that 'something' is depends on personal choice, climate, how quickly stuff dries up, etc.


Taste Tasmania's award-winning cool climate wines.
Tamar Valley Wine – the wines from the cool climate of Tasmania have secured a special place within the Australian wine industry. With greater frequency, mainland wine companies/makers are procuring Tasmanian land and/or established vineyards to source grapes for their premium sparkling wines. Tasmania's cooler climate is able to achieve a delicacy of flavour not achievable in warmer regions.
There have been studies to show that Tasmania's terroir, specifically the climate, is similar to the wine growing regions of Northern France.
It is not surprising that our flagship red is the burgundy beauty Pinot Noir and our sparkling wines are challenging the long held position of the Champagne region.
The Alsace trio Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris are becoming increasingly popular. Wine production in Tasmania is classified as 'boutique' and the owners, growers and/or winemakers, are very "hands on".
With warm friendly cellar door environments and great views you will wonder why you haven't done this sooner.

Q: What is so great about extension methods?
Possible Duplicate:
What Advantages of Extension Methods have you found?

All right, first of all, I realize this sounds controversial, but I don't mean to be confrontational. I am asking a serious question out of genuine curiosity (or maybe puzzlement is a better word).
Why were extension methods ever introduced to .NET? What benefit do they provide, aside from making things look nice (and by "nice" I mean "deceptively like instance methods")?
To me, any code that uses an extension method like this:
Thing initial = GetThing();
Thing manipulated = initial.SomeExtensionMethod();

is misleading, because it implies that SomeExtensionMethod is an instance member of Thing, which misleads developers into believing (at least as a gut feeling... you may deny it but I've definitely observed this) that (1) SomeExtensionMethod is probably implemented efficiently, and (2) since SomeExtensionMethod actually looks like it's part of the Thing class, surely it will remain valid if Thing is revised at some point in the future (as long as the author of Thing knows what he/she's doing).
But the fact is that extension methods don't have access to protected members or any of the internal workings of the class they're extending, so they're just as prone to breakage as any other static methods.
We all know that the above could easily be:
Thing initial = GetThing();
Thing manipulated = SomeNonExtensionMethod(initial);

To me, this seems a lot more, for lack of a better word, honest.
What am I missing? Why do extension methods exist?

A: I think that the main upside is discoverability. Type initial and a dot, and there you have all the stuff that you can do with it. It's a lot harder to find static methods tucked away in some class somewhere else.

A: First of all, in the Thing manipulated = SomeNonExtensionMethod(initial); case, SomeNonExtensionMethod is based on exactly the same assumptions like in the Thing manipulated = initial.SomeExtensionMethod(); case. Thing can change, SomeExtensionMethod can break. That's life for us programmers.
Second, when I see Thing manipulated = initial.SomeExtensionMethod();, it doesn't tell me exactly where SomeExtensionMethod() is implemented. Thing could inherit it from TheThing, which inherits it from TheOriginalThing. So the "misleading" argument leads to nowhere. I bet the IDE takes care of leading you to the right source, doesn't it?
What's so great? It makes code more consistent. If it works on a string, it looks like if it was a member of string. It's ugly to have several MyThing.doThis() methods and several static ThingUtil.doSomethingElse(Mything thing) methods in another class.

A: Extension methods were needed to make Linq work in the clean way that it does, with method chaining. If you have to use the "long" form, it causes the function calls and the parameters to become separated from each other, making the code very hard to read. Compare:
IEnumerable<int> r = list.Where(x => x > 10).Take(5)

versus
// What does the 5 do here?
IEnumerable<int> r = Enumerable.Take(Enumerable.Where(list, x => x > 10), 5);

Like anything, they can be abused, but extension methods are really useful when used properly.

A: SO you can extend someone else's class. not yours... that's the advantage.
(and you can say.. oh I wish they implement this / that.... you just do it yourself..)

A: they are great for automatically mixing in functionality based on Interfaces that a class inherits without that class having to explicitly re implement it.
Linq makes use of this a lot.
Great way to decorate classes with extra functionality.   Most effective when applied to an Interface rather than a specific class.  Still a good way to extend Framework classes though.

A: It's just convenient syntactic sugar so that you can call a method with the same syntax regardless of whether it's actually part of the class.  If party A releases a lib, and party B releases stuff that uses that lib, it's easier to just call everything with class.method(args) than to have to remember what gets called with method(class, args) vs. class.method(args).

Tribute to Miguel Burnier
Professor Miguel Burnier Jr. has been my professor, mentor, role model, and friend even before I entered medical school. He was fundamental during my postgraduate studies since he was the reason why I chose ocular oncology as my area of academic research. More than 50 colleagues from Brazil and other parts of the world are as lucky as I am for having Professor Burnier as their PhD advisor and as their friend; hundreds more have learned from him at his laboratory. It is truly a pleasure for me to donate to the Foundation of the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology in honor of Professor Burnier.,

Tribute to Arun Singh
"Professor Arun Singh was my professor in ocular oncology way back in 2008, and he has served as my mentor since then. For 10 years, he has been fundamental not only in my professional growth but also in my goal of making my ocular oncology service in São Paulo the largest eye cancer center in Latin America. He still serves as our international advisor in difficult cases, providing knowledge and guidance as an international volunteer. I am blessed to have him as my गुरु जी.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC), the utilization of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for the detection of specific antigens in tissue sections, is an extraordinarily powerful tool in the armamentarium of the diagnostic surgical pathologist. IHC is an important application of monoclonal as well as polyclonal antibodies to determine the tissue distribution of an antigen of interest in health and disease. It is widely used for diagnosis of cancers because specific tumor antigens are expressed de novo or up-regulated in certain cancers. IHC plays an important role in pathology, particularly in the subspecialties of oncologic pathology, neuropathology, and hematopathology.

The NGO Dr. Annie Besant School for MR Children was established at Hoshangabad for the rehabilitation and integration of adults with developmental disabilities in 2002. Mrs Aarati Dutta, who has been a social activist all her life, started the NGO and has been endeavoring to help mentally disabled / autistic people for over 15 years. Ahead of World Autism Awareness Day, which is observed on April 2 every year. The first time the day was observed was back in 2008, after it was designated by the United Nations General Assembly.
The school with its limited resources, and help that it gets from the government grants, has tried its best to create a environment which can provide a holistic development to these specially able children.
The main idea is to train them and provide them with necessary skill training so that they also become a self reliant and can add value to the society at large.

Build faithful families and communities through rosary prayer. The Knights of Columbus Rosary Program encourages councils to promote devotion to the rosary in families and parishes by scheduling regular rosary prayer services. Kits with rosary rings, rosary prayer guides and leader books are available for councils to order.
This program encourages devotion to Mary, the patroness of the Knights of Columbus, and emphasizes the importance of prayer in community and as a family. The Rosary Program encourages councils to schedule regular rosary prayer services on any day of the week, at any time of the year, with the guidance of their pastor. Councils should personally invite each family of the parish and offer attending families a copy of A Scriptural Rosary for the Family from the Knights of Columbus Catholic Information Service. Councils should encourage families to read this booklet and learn how their faith can be strengthened through a devotion to Our Lady, while praying the rosary at home together regularly.
Working with your pastor, obtain his permission and recommendations on conducting a rosary prayer service.
Order the Rosary Program Kit (#SR-Kit) through Supplies Online, the supply ordering portal available on Officers Online.
Prior to the rosary prayer service, use the sample press release as a model to create and distribute a tailored release to local media.
Enlist a fellow Knight or community member to photograph each service.
Note: This program evolved from the Fifth Sunday Rosary Program and, as such, was originally envisioned to be held at least five times a year. While the Fifth Sunday aspect of the program is no longer necessary, councils should hold rosary prayer services at least four times a year (quarterly) to successfully meet program requirements and are encouraged to host prayer series monthly.


NLP language patterns are used by all of us all of the time and one of the most common of those NLP language patterns is called Presuppositions.
Presuppositions are the NLP equivalent of assumptions. You can easily understand how to use these patterns in order to influence another person positively and for their benefit.
In this sentence you have made an assumption on their behalf, that they have more resources than they thought possible. It is not necessarily true but it is assumed to be true.
Think about how powerful our beliefs are, they shape our lives. Beliefs are something that we hold to be true. If we believe that we can do something, then we have a good chance of achieving that thing. If we do not believe that we can do something then there is no chance that we can do it. If you believe that you can learn something really easily, then the chances are that you will learn it easily. If you believe that learning something will be really difficult, then you are setting yourself up to struggle.
So, if I were to say to you that "you will be able to learn this really easily," then I have forced you to contemplate the belief that it will be really easy to learn this. It is not necessarily true but I have suggested that it is and the chances are that if I speak with confidence, then you will believe me. I have therefore assisted you in learning the subject really easily.
You can probably see this a bit more clearly now (Can you? You probably can). The more examples of linguistic assumptions that I give you the more likely it is that you will be able to discover your own language patterns that help people assume beliefs that are empowering for them (is it likely? Probably. I am forcing that assumption on you).
Having now learnt how to use NLP Presuppositions, you can now move easily on to the next NLP Milton Model pattern.
Enjoy using these presuppositions easily and comfortably. They will produce wonderfully positive and powerful results.

YEKATERINBURG, Russia, June 15 (Reuters) - Egypt, starting without key striker Mohamed Salah and Uruguay, whose own star forward Luis Suarez looked way short of form and fitness, were goalless at halftime in their World Cup Group A opener on Friday.
Salah, battling to overcome a shoulder injury, was among the substitutes with Egypt perhaps saving their talisman for future games against Russia and Saudi Arabia following the hosts' 5-0 win in the opening game on Thursday.
Suarez had the best chance of a low-intensity half but dragged a close-range shot into the side-netting as a disappointing Uruguay struggled to live up to their billing as group favourites.

Congress Addresses Mysterious Sightings, Holds UFO Hearing
By Stanley Wickens

We've long wondered whether there are extraterrestrial objects flying around in space. In fact, the subject has remained an unsolved mystery for so long that the United States Department of Defense established the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force for the purpose of collecting data on military UFO sightings. Recently, in their first meeting in over half a century, both Democratic and Republican members of Congress agreed that UFOs were, indeed, real. Here's what they revealed.
Although it was confirmed that they do exist, these objects remain as mysterious as ever. One thing both parties agreed on, however, was that a new approach must be taken to better understand them. "For too long, the stigma associated with UAPs has gotten in the way of good intelligence analysis. Pilots avoided reporting or laughed at when they did," stated subcommittee chairman Rep. Andre Carson. "[Department of Defense] officials relegated the issue to the backroom or swept it under the rug entirely fearful of his skeptical national security community. Today, we know better. UAPs are unexplained... but they are real." But what does this all mean?

According to Pentagon officials, collecting high-quality data on UAPs is particularly challenging. In one previously classified video shown during the official hearing, a reflective spherical object that looked like a dot of light can be seen flying around a military jet. "What are we observing?" asked Rep. Adam Schiff, the leader of the Intelligence Committee. However, Pentagon official Scott W. Bray wasn't able to give an exact answer, since the object couldn't be identified from its brief appearance in the video. "What you see here is aircraft that is operating in a U.S. Navy training range that has observed a spherical object in that area," said Bray. "And as they fly by and they take a video, it looks somewhat reflective in this video, and it quickly passes by the cockpit of the aircraft." He later added, "I do not have an explanation for what this specific object is." But that doesn't mean there aren't theories...
Among the few guesses experts suggested in last year's report were airborne debris, natural atmospheric conditions, technology from foreign adversaries, or top-secret U.S. government technology. However, with the quality of the data being collected improving, officials hope to have clearer answers that might help explain these mysterious sightings. Be sure to stay tuned.
